The Rediscovery of the Unique by H.G. Wells

The Rediscovery of the UniqueThe Rediscovery of the Unique by H.G. Wells
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Everything is different and unique. Words for nouns and adjectives are just imprecise generalizations. So far, so good.

Then he extends this as an analogy to claim that individual atoms are also different and therefore atomic theory can't be valid. Um? And then he also throws in that morality is also an over-generalization. Such a short essay on such weighty topics fails to persuade.
